What’s Organic Xylitol?
Organic Xylitol is a natural sugar alcohol derived from organic birch wood or organic corn cobs, providing a sweet, low-calorie alternative to traditional sugars. It has a sweetness similar to sucrose (table sugar) but with fewer calories and a lower glycemic index, making it an ideal choice for individuals seeking a healthier option for their sweetening needs. Xylitol is commonly used in sugar-free gums, candies, dental products, and a wide range of food and beverage applications.
